About this activity

This excursion includes an itinerary in stages to let you know and appreciate places of particular natural value within the reserve of the Etna Park up to an altitude of about 2000 meters. Thanks to the experience of our staff, on board of 4x4 vehicles you will live an interesting and at the same time fun experience. Starting from the lava flows that threatened entire villages, we will visit the extinct craters and the viewpoint of the majestic Valle del Bove. We will descend into the meanders of the volcano visiting a lava flow cave (lava tube) equipped with a helmet and speleologist lights. The tour will end with a tasting of Sicilian specialties. IMPORTANT NOTES: If you have a car we recommend that you reach our meeting point in Trecastagni in MontataGrande. LANGUAGE: During the high season there may be overbooking of reservations for one language. In this case, a tour leader speaking the selected language will be guaranteed in the scheduled stages of the tour.

Recommended for good time spent at Etna

Fantastic English speaking guide. Lot of new knowledge gained not only about Etna and local life but other questions about Italy too. Local food tasting at end provides nice touch to tour.

Our guide Pier Paolo was...

Our guide Pier Paolo was most knowledgeable! He was most enthusiastic and passionate about Etna and it’s history. My two teenage kids and myself learned so much. The delicious food tasting at the end was the cherry to the day trip. Highly recommended tour!

Very good tour in the Etna

A very knowledgeable guide. Tour was well organized and managed. You miss a lot of information and knowledge about the mountain and its geology and history, if you just climb without explanations. Very recommended.
